SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 757,868, dated April 19, 1904.

Application filed qn'iary 20, 1903. serial N0- l39,'731. (N0 model.)

To all whom it III/Ly concern:

Be it known that I, AROIIIBALD HART, minister, a subject of the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of WV est Glenallan, Dunblane, in the county of Perth, Scotland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pens, of which the following is a specification. This invention is an improvement in pens, the object of my invention being to fashion a pen with a threefold formation of nib that will combine the essential qualities of an ordinary steel nib and a stylographic point for the purpose of writing equally Well on both sides of the pen-nib, and particularly suited to rapid work. My improved pens are also capable of containinga considerable quantity of ink and may be used when writing in various positions or angles. My said improvements are applicable to steel, celluloid, xylonite, quill, or any other pen material.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, 1 will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of my improved pen having a triple nib. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my pen having a triple nib and a holder. Fig. i is a plan view of the same. Fig. 5 is a plan view of my pen having a split holder. Fig. 6 is an end view of the shank of my Fig. 7 is side elevation of my pen having a split holder.

2 represents the cylindrical body of my pen, constructed of sheet-steel, with twin nibs n and a third or central projecting pointed nib 02. for dividing the flow of ink to the twin nibs. In constructing the third or central nib 1 take a sheet of steel and form it into a cylinder J and give it one-third of an extra turn in making the cylinder. The extra turn of the sheet of steel leaves an inside lap of the sheet of steel, from which the third or central nib a is formed. This pen is also formed with a round end p, which receives the round socket portion q of a holder K when required for writing with. When the pen is not in use, the nib portion can be inserted within the splayed-out portion r of the holder and the whole can be placed in the pocket of the user.

In lieu of the holder K, I may mount a pen having a cylinder L on a holder Z, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Instead of the extra turn of the sheet of steel being clamped up to the inside of the cylinder it may be bent across the inside of the cylinder K, (shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7,) the third central nib s forming the division of the barrel of the pen which is mounted on the tubular or other holder M, formed with two split ends m m, the third or central nib 8 extending at its inner end into the opening m In this construction the nibs are always kept at the desired distance from each other.

Having thus described my invention, the fol lowing is what I claim as new therein and de sire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A pen comprising a cylindrical body having twin nibs and a third nib located in a position between the twin nibs.

2. A pen comprising a cylindrical body having twin nibs and a central nib providing a division between the twin nibs.

3. A pen comprising a cylindrical body having twin nibs and a central nib providing a division between the twin nibs and a holder- ARGHIBALD HART.
